The city of Avalon is what it is due the nefarious deeds of one Lady Ironwood, and it will be up to the player to utilize a device known as the Chronometer to travel back in time and influence the past. Back in the present day the player will experience the ramifications and consequences of their past behaviors. The players choices will affect the people, stories, and even the city itself in unexpected ways.
